Illinois State Police cruisers will be very visible in highway construction zones from Rockton to the Wisconsin state line today. The Illinois Department of Transportation is funding the initiative, with the aim of slowing down drivers who exceed posted construction zone speed limits. The minimum fine for speeding in a construction zone is 375 dollars.
